hey hey hey! Soooo there's been a LOT of questions.

1. Where the hell did Valentine go?
Answer: Trust me, you will know, ALL IN GOOD TIME HEHEHE

2. WTF is with Izzy turning all nice?
Answer: So, I don't want to spoil too much of the suspense but I will tell ya this: Whatever she did, the apologizing thing, was REAL. It came from her heart. But there will always be a part of Isabelle that wants to get back at Clary for unknowingly stealing Simon's heart...that's all I'm telling you for that question!

3. Is Alec good or bad?
Answer: I want to keep the original "Alec crushes on Jace and gets mad at Clary" spiel. How does this answer the question, you may ask. Well, lets just say that his emotions have unintended consequences. *wink wink* Wait, but lemme clarify something. So the whole story behind Alec is he and Magnus have feelings for each other, and they have a relationship that is short because of Alec's lingering feelings for Jace. So, there will be this wholeee segment explaining this shit, I don't wanna ruin the surprise!

I promise that as the story develops, things will get more clear.

Ok? Ok.

TFIOS reference! I'm cheesy asf get over it hehehe.

So DISCLAIMER: This chapter doesn't exactly explain the 3 questions above, well, maybe the 3rd one a little, but u get it. That's all!

Enjoy!

Clary walked to her locker feeling uneasy. Something was up. She thought back to what happened that day.

Bullshit. Izzy was full of it. How can someone who bullies you for 5 years just SOMEHOW beg for forgiveness? She was treading carefully from now on, making sure she wouldn't tell Isabelle ANYTHING.

She was vague when talking to her, and all out refused to tell Izzy many things. But Isabelle persisted on certain things.

Izzy thought she was subtle, but she wasn't. Isabelle kept asking Clary about embarrassing things that happened to her, what she was afraid of, etc. She didn't know that Clary was perceptive; years of being a loner taught her some things. Clary could read body language, and she knew how to mask her true emotions. Jace thought he was good at hiding his emotions, but Clary as better.

Clary was suspicious. At first, she was kinda truthful, but when she found out that Isabelle had asked for yet another embarrassing story she started bending the truth more and more.

Isabelle got a text, and judging from Izzy's face, Clary could tell she was reluctant, but also glad. She got up, and left Clary for the last 10 minutes of lunch, mumbling some lame excuse.

Clary still hadn't received any texts from Alec. The meeting must've already happened, if he was telling the truth.

Who was she kidding? Why would she just trust these people?

Her thoughts landed on Luke. Why did he lie? Well, he didn't completely lie, but it still hurt that he kept things from her. She was slightly upset, but she loved Luke. He was the only father figure she had. She would never get mad at him, and she didn't plan on doing it.

Clary saw Magnus waiting at her locker. He never hurt her, and she actually thought he was a good friend.

"Hey Magnus," she said shyly. "What brings you to Freaky Fray's locker?"

Magnus frowned at her joke. "Clary, biscuit, I'm done with this shit. You know, ever since you helped me and Alexander, I appreciated you greatly. I still do, and I intend to for the rest of my life. But there's a reason I came here."

Magnus took a deep breath. "Something's up. When I was on my way to the bathroom during fifth period, Aline, Seelie, and Isabelle were talking in the the girls bathroom. The door was open, and I listened in. I don't regret doing that. I'm going to be blunt. Isabelle lied. She's trying to get to know you, and then use it against you. I know Jace and Isabelle are planning something, and dear Alexander, well, I think he is too."

"I'm not surprised Magnus. I knew something was up. But...what exactly are they going to do?"

"I don't know biscuit. But...I can tell you something. See, before you helped Alec and I get together, hell, before you helped him come out, he was crushing on Jace. If he heard me say this, he would kill me. But, he's deluded Clary, he's angry at you for now fucking reason. You might not know this, but Jace thinks you're intriguing. Nobody knows why he hates you, and frankly, his actions aren't similar to his thoughts. I know because he tells Alec everything, and he told Alec he jut wants to get to know you. Jace is stupid, really, he is. He can't see that Alec longs for Jace, which is why I ended our relationship. But I do know that the person you least expected to trust is trustworthy. The Lightwood children are backstabbing bitches, except Max. Be careful darling."

"Mags, wait, what is the plan. Please, if you know anything, I need to know." Then, in a whisper she said, "Sometimes, all of this shit piles up, and I don't think I can pull through it anymore. I just wa-"

Magnus stopped Clary by pulling her in a fierce hug. "Don't you dare say that," he retorted angrily. "Clary, I care about you so damn much. You can't see anything, can you? This entire school LOVES you. Those bitches are retards, and they lack emotions, so forget them. You've established yourself as a fucking goddess in the eyes of the student body. And we love you, I LOVE YOU. Your very presence comforts me. Please, dear god, never, EVER feel that s-suicide is the way. Please."

He was desperate; Magnus didn't want to lose another person he cared about. Clary was selfless; she didn't know it, but she took the brunt of the verbal abuse thrown by the popular bitches. She really was worshiped. How she didn't know this made Magnus confused, but he didn't ask any questions.

"Clary, I don't know what they are going to do. But don't trust Izzy, Alec or Jace."

Clary felt comforted by Magnus's hug and stayed in his embrace, but she was confused. "Magnus, what are you saying? Jace...likes me? I don't understand."

"Clary, darling. Jace told Alec is you are different. Even after all the shit Jace puts you through, you STILL pull through. He's amazed that you, unlike other girls, care about personality. All the girls who crave Jace think he's hot, and they don't care about him otherwise. But you, you won't take the bullshit. He's notices, and he PINES for you. He wants to conquer you, and for the past 5 years, you've made it clear to him you don't want him. But he is a good person Clary, I know it. He built walls around himself because something tragic happened in his life, and nobody has been successful in breaking the walls down."

Magnus pulled away from Clary, and put his hands on her shoulders. "But you, you didn't even have to talk to him that much. Yet you still broke down a tiny part of his walls. You amaze me, him, and everyone."

"Magnus..." whispered Clary. "What happened to him?"

Magnus chuckled mirthlessly. "You have to ask him that yourself, because nobody knows, except his adoptive parents, Robert and Maryse. But apparently Jace told them not to tell his adoptive siblings. Even Robert and Maryse don't even know the whole story. It's undiscovered territory, and I feel like you will discover it."
